Vande mataram : Timeless India

To commemorate 60 years of India's Independence, starting this week, I will be posting a 'Vande mataram' music video and a 'Vande mataram' short film every week till August 15th.

This video titled 'Vande mataram:Timeless India' has been directed by Bharatbala of Bharatbala Productions and edited by his wife Kanika Myer. Filmed extensively in North eastern India in October and November 1997, this video, apart from the North east tribals, features a very expressive girl from the Ali yavar Institute in Mumbai.
